Sleeping Murder
Book 11 of the Miss Marple series
Newlywed Gwenda Reed feels an uncanny familiarity with the English house she and her husband have purchased. Fragments of childhood memory reveal a woman lying dead in the hall and suggest that an old murder was never recognized. Miss Marple helps the couple investigate while warning that stirring a sleeping crime may alert the killer. Eerie but cozy, this mystery is perfect for a foggy evening and readers who enjoy haunted-house atmosphere without the supernatural, recovered memories, domestic secrets, and danger hidden inside a dream home.
